Cocoa Butter and Vanilla – Jomiloju Zoltan.

• Cocoa Butter and Vanilla.

You smell of cocoa butter and vanilla. I know because I’ve held you in my arms Although never as a lover It’s funny how I know almost every detail about you But absolutely nothing that counts And everytime I say ‘bye’, the winds scorn my folly For my pain affects their wings “Tell the girl”, they whisper “You never know what she’ll say” But your blood flows for another. And as my soul blisters, your smile widens When you speak his name For he also smells like cocoa butter and vanilla And believe me, I’m sorry. This wasn’t the plan But you can only get so close to the sun And expect a mere tan. But be that as it may, Maybe you still deserve to know So I’m here again But before I find any words to say, “Hey, best friend” fills my ears again And as you lean in for a hug, I think “Probably next time” But for now, I’ll just stick around. Maybe one day, I’ll smell like cocoa butter and vanilla Zoltan
